I can remember being taught that as a child and when I was dating I had choices to make and sometimes they were very difficult but I remained a virgin until I married my wife and she was a virgin as well. I would say that it paid handsomely for us but they are choices. As you say you can stick the needle in your arm or chose not to. God gives us the choice and he also gives us the strength.
And when your society teaches you that there are no bad consequences for your choices, the world's your oyster.
